The year is 1980. It is a time of mass unemployment, strikes, riots and Maggie Thatcher's despised government. This title lets us follow humorous episodes at High School, family holidays to Majorca and the changing cultures of fashion, music and the birth of the 'Space Invaders' age. |
| Synopsis: |
In "Ten-Hole Boots and Shellsuits", we pick up where Robertson's last book "Skeem Life" left off. The year is 1980 and he begins the decade as a young punk rocker full of rebellion and attitude. It is a time of mass unemployment, strikes, riots and Maggie Thatcher's despised government. We follow humorous episodes at High School, family holidays to Majorca and the changing cultures of fashion, music and the birth of the 'Space Invaders' age. We move through the years and follow his progress trying to find work, becoming a fitness fanatic and the home gym where he turned into 'Bruce Lee'. The tales come thick and fast as Robertson embarks on foreign holidays with his mates and discovers the art of binge drinking with disastrous results. This is the next hilarious installment of retro memories, a real coming of age story which those of a certain age will instantly relate to and for all others will simply be - a damn good read. |
